In many of these stings, informants or undercover agents provided all the money and weapons for the terrorist plot, and sometimes even the ideas - raising significant questions about whether any of these people would have committed crimes were it not for the FBI's encouragement. This new edition of the book also examines how the FBI is assigning informants to infiltrate right-wing groups, in order to expand the Bureau's counterrorism program beyond Muslim Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833168089246,"sku":"ADS-9781632461407","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781632461407.jpg?v=1778651024","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781632461407","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
